What research has taught me

18 de novembro de 2017

by Teresa Carvalho

I’m finally done with my research project. And with my writing, too. While it was an exhausting enterprise, it was also incredibly self-fulfilling. Most people tend to think that research is about collecting data and statistics. A lot of people look at research as if it was conducted by a team of experienced academic researchers...Read More

6 de março de 2017

by Ricardo Barros

A couple of years ago, Damian Williams wrote a post explaining why he doesn’t like teaching idiomatic expressions. I wrote a response to that, as I strongly disagreed with him. However, a recent conversation with another teacher made me rethink that a bit. Here’s the situation: I have two private students, both of whom work...Read More
